The fractionation of eukaryotic main-band DNAs

The main conclusions of Thiery et al. (1976) were the following (i) all eleven mammalian DNAs analyzed exhibited the three major components 1.697, 1.704 and 1.709 g/cm, first observed in the bovine genome similar components appeared in avian genomes and were, likewise, responsible for the trailing of the CsCl bands on the heavy, GC-rich, side (ii) the DNAs of reptiles, amphibians and fishes showed a much lower skewness to the heavy side of their CsCl bands (iii) essentially symmetrical bands in CsCl, neglecting satellite bands, were displayed by DNAs from three invertebrates (two echinoderms and Dro.sophila) and from three unicellular eukaryotes, S. cerevisiae, E. gracilis, T. pyriformis (see Table 3.2).
